Striped Marsh FrogLimnodynastes peronii

The Striped Marsh Frog (Limnodynastes peronii) is a frog of wetlands, swamps, flooded grasslands, agricultural areas, and even rainforests along the east coast of Australia. They are small brown frogs with lighter and darker brown stripes running the length of their bodies. They are also known as Brown-striped Frogs for this reason.

One night while recording frogs in a cane field area near Miallo, Queensland, I recorded this a loud frog call I didn't know. It was a loud "knocking" sound heard over the background calls of the Australian Rocket Frogs (Litoria nasuta).
